You must do a 'Full Regen' of the Web Orbiter as described in the Wiki page - a reload router alone is not enough. It was the regen on re-boot that corrected the problem...not the reboot itself.

As I wrote "I did several full regens of the orbiter." - so that did not help - I have no idea why not. But what the heck now it works

Aah, and the N770 size helped a lot - now the screen is filled and things look better. Still the scroll buttons in video/audio list is a little small - that is not so nice. I will try and find a good skin.

What skin is used on the N770/800/810 ?

And if I should find time (in a couple of moths) I might have a look at how complicated it is to build a new skin. or rearrange one of the existing.Is it possible to have a bigger font that is better readable in the video/audio list ? How complicated is it to change that ?

Any visual layout changes need to be made in HAS Designer or in the bitmaps (png's etc) that make up the UI - Orbiter's (including Web Orbiter) have not say in what the UI lookslike or how it might display on a screen at a given resolution. The N770/800/810/900 all work well with Basic and that is what most people use as far as i know.

HA Designer is not a particularly friendly application and it does require that you understand a lot of the underlying system to achieve any results in it. Having said that - once you have familiarised yourself with HAD then its like anything else...it seems less threatening than it did!

On Chrome - I noticed the "Exit" button, below the Orbiter, doesn't work.On further digging the javascript self.close() method behind the button seems to be broken in chrome.I'm on stock chrome so don't know if the dev branch has this fixed.

will I pop this info on the wiki too?-Coley.

Sure the Wiki is there so that everyone can contribute if they feel they can... so go ahead. If you find a work around in Javascript that fixes the problem in Chrome lets hear about that too :-)

As an aside I would love to see forum members dig into the Jaavscript and extend & improve it...the cool thing is you can apply your expertise in Javascript to Web Orbiter without needing to study all the source code for for the whole systeme for '6 months' first ;-)

I had tried a few of the so-called workarounds google threw up before I posted here, but had no success.-Coley.

Well thanks for trying them...keep digging you might still find a work around ;-)

Am running the Web Orbiter 2.0 on a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, and it's great, a big thank you to you and your team.

Have tried it with both the "S60 Browser" (the default browser) and "Opera Mobile"; both work well, and whilst I think Opera is the only choice for general web browsing on this phone, I shall probably be using the S60 Browser for the Web Orbiter, for the following reasons...

1. Opera leaves big empty white spaces around the main orbiter screen, regardless of resolutions and zoom level.2. "Full screen" on the S60 browser is more "full screen" than "full screen" on Opera..... if that makes any sense at all! 3. Using the S60 browser means that you can place a bookmark to the Web Orbiter in the shortcuts panel on the main screen. Haven't worked out how to change the icon yet, but that's no biggie.

A few other questions/comments if you don't mind...

a) Resolution - My mobile uses the rather random resolution of 640x360, and using the standard TV resolution (640x480?) I've always had to scroll down a little bit to see everything. I've just tried for the first time the iPhone resolution (can't remember the resolution, but it was smaller than 640x360) and it's better in that everything is on the screen, but obviously all the buttons are a bit smaller. Are there any others that I could try that might better? Or is there a way to manually set 640x360?

b) Login - With the old web orbiter, I could login etc, bookmark the page, and then when I returned to that bookmark I wouldn't have to type in my login information again. I have noticed with the Web Orbiter 2.0 that I have to type this information in each time - is there any way round this? Again, not really a huge issue, but one I thought I would mention.

The process of adding resolutions is not straighforward as they need to be added to the DB and then pushed out in an update. Make a request in the Dev channel for the resolution you need.

Why dont you look at the php/javascript source and come up with a change to fix that - after all its just plain old php/javascript... not LinuxMCE knowledge required ;-)

Hmmm...well something is not right in you installation. Can you take a quick picture of you iPhone's screen and post it here for me so i can see its size/layout of your Orbiter?

Sorry for the delay- attached is a screenshot from my iphone. This is what is displayed when I load the page. As you can see, none of the buttons below the telephone line are displayed.

I reinstalled using the latest snapshot at the time (July 17, 2010, #23165) and have all of the latest packages including the sqlCVS updates. I have reloaded and regenerated the orbiters and reboot the core.

Any suggestions?

Well the main problem is that you are not running Web Orbiter full screen on your iPhone. Do the following;

- Launch Safari- Login to Web Orbiter etc.- Now with your Home screen on screen use Safari's '+' tool at the bottom of the screen and then select 'Add to home screen' from the pop-up.- Now give your new Home screen Icon a name... 'Orbiter' maybe and then touch 'Add' and locate the Icon where you like it on your Home screen.

Now use your new Home Screen Icon to launch the Web Orbiter 2.0 and this time when your Main menu appears you should see that the Orbiter is running full screen and is not displaying the URL entry box or any of the other UI elements that are normally displayed above the Web page you are viewing.

I have been moderately successful with WO2.0, running on the displays of 2 Android-based phones, one being the T-Mo G1 / HTC Dream (CM6 - Froyo), the other being the T-Mo Vibrant / (almost) Samsung Galaxy S (Rooted Stock 2.1).

Each work quite well via wifi, using default web browser, and I believe that my only troubles have been the result of the fact that my wrt310n (v1) router has recently begun to freak out. I'll be replacing it in the next coupla' days, I hope.

The WO2 has hung up on me a time or two, and I've had to killall -9 the darn thing, but again, coulda' been the router's fault.

I finally got around toupdate my box so that I can get the web orbiter 2 running.Now I deleted and recreated the web orbiter.Full RegenQuick Reload and rebooted ( All of these several times )But if I click on the a button, I get the Flying Penguin.
